Yup. Fwiw, my support of elevenses was more along the lines of 'do they know about...' but I wasn't specific, so I'm not too worried about it. Just for the record.
You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, either we go with a formalised selection methodology, or it's a last minute grab at a title.
I can easily say that if I'm the admin on charge when a new thread (especially Natter) is to be created, I take the word of the first remotely plausible Joe that wanders in. I'm just not tracking thread naming with enough cycles to do anything else.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm partial to Screw Kafka, We're Talkin Beckett because a) I made it up and b) the "talkin" double entendre
I like this one too.
Hey, I gave up on my perfect trifecta natter title because...candy and drinking. Who can argue with that?
Besides diabetics at their AA meeting.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Yeah. I think, when it comes down to it, they're just thread names. The natter ones will be gone in a blink.
And whatever's closest, for practical reasons, gets it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ayup. Just needs to be done. I think it's fine.

I'm firmly anti-monkey. And I'm voting for: Like Sartre, Only Longer.

Thanks for all the fish.
I'm fairly indifferent to monkey, but I think that at some point a thread, any thread, should be named
firmly anti-monkey
or, really
fairly indifferent to monkey
I'm not helping, am I?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I can easily say that if I'm the admin on charge when a new thread (especially Natter) is to be created, I take the word of the first remotely plausible Joe that wanders in. I'm just not tracking thread naming with enough cycles to do anything else.
Yup. That's it exactly. They can be edited, too.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I wasn't dissing the stompies (as I assume they make the title whatever they are told to make it), I was just registering my mild annoyance.
My apologies if I was misread.

Hell, I'll admit to sometimes being tempted to name threads

or
Natter ##: TBD, eventually, at some point, maybe. (monkey)
